When I told someone that I was staying at Prestonfield, his comment was 'this is probably the best hotel in Edinburgh' so my expectations were naturally quite high - fuelled by the marketing literature, which has more quotations from the great and the good than a hit play! When you turn into the grounds it is clearly a spectacular building... More

My partner and I have eaten here twice in the last few weeks and found it to be just lovely, The food is fantastic, ( the only issue was that when we ordered, we saw a starter with crab) however the staff member said it was not on the menu and later I noticed it on another menu so it... More

Last September I was in Edinburgh for business and stayed over for the weekend at the Prestonfield. I stayed in the Owner's Suite, which has incredible character - a very old world feel with lots of color. When I walked into my room I found a nice bottle of champagne, fresh fruit and chocolates - nice little surprise. I stayed... More

This is a lovely country house hotel which we stayed in after attending a wedding held in the magnificent converted stables in the grounds of the hotel, but here's the thing, when we asked if we could check out a little later than the elevin o'clock deadline we were told that there would be an additional charge of £25.

We stayed at Prestonfield last night as a celebration of a sold out festival we run. We booked a luxury double room and it was nice enough although the bathroom doesn't have any kind of wow factor (some of the rubber around the bath is looking rough and the plinth of wood across the floor at the door is splintering.)...

I hired Prestonfield Stables to host a Charity Ball for Bethany Christian Trust. I cannot thank the staff enough. They pulled out all the stops to ensure our event ran smoothly. Their staff are well experienced, polite and courteous and nothing I asked of them was ever a problem. Staff were given a complimentary room to use before the ball.... More

We staying in this hotel back in November 2011. We were in the "owner's suite" and we were actually able to view a few of the other rooms as well. They are all gorgeous. The owner's suite features a leather wallpaper that makes the walls look like a massive bookshelf. Very unique. Each of the rooms has a theme, and... More

We loved staying (and getting married here)! What a sensory experience - an amazing historic house, excellent service and wonderful rooms. The staff made us feel really special and were keen to ensure our wedding was a wonderful day. The only things that weren't exceptional were the food (which was ok but given the price and venue's reputation we thought... More

My wife and I went to Prestonfield for our Anniversary, and ordered the Afternoon Tea. Arriving at this splendid 17th Century mansion is an event in itself, and we were met at the door by a very very helpful young man, who led us upstairs to the Leather Room.
